Very positive review of James Baldwin’s poems, Jimmy’s Blues, published by Michael Joseph:

‘James Baldwin’s all-too-short selected poems shows another master at work, writing across the artificial divide between the black and white race. With his poetry’s terse comments, its individualistic style and its joy and pain, Baldwin is writing from within his entire heritage’.
